But, given time and genetic recombination, says Dr Campbell-Staton, evolution might disentangle the mutation for tusklessness from the maladaptive mutations in its neighbouring genes, opening the door for males to shed their tusks, too.
但是,坎贝尔-斯塔顿博士说,经过一定的时间和基因重组,进化可能会将无牙突变从邻近基因的不适应突变中解脱出来,也为雄性打开无牙的大门。
